Besides his father and a few close friends, only one other person was by Elvis’ side for almost his entire career—his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. If Elvis stood at the front of the stage, “The Colonel” was a mysterious figure lurking somewhere off to the side. The relationship between Elvis and the Colonel is a focus of the new movie Elvis from director and screenwriter Baz Luhrmann. Starring two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks as
...22) STREAM+ Issue 3
Introducing the third issue of STREAM+, your essential guide of what to watch and where to find it, packed with celebrity interviews, behind-the-scenes photos and unmissable reviews.
Bruce Willis superimposed wit and charm on an average build (and a balding pate) to become a box-office sensation. Playing David Addison Jr., a devilish detective-agency rogue opposite Cybill Shepherd’s Maddie Hayes in TV’s Moonlighting may have been his breakthrough, but becoming everyman action hero John McClane in 1988’s Die Hard made him a star. Then came more movies, an investment in a chain of restaurants, a side hustle as a singer
...Not many performers had two public faces as incongruous as Bob Saget’s. To fans of the 1987-1995 ABC sitcom Full House and its Netflix follow-up Fuller House, he was Danny Tanner, the earnest, loveable father figure always trying to do the right thing. To fans of his stand-up act, he was the raunchy raconteur whose humor was so blue, it veered into violet. But off screen, Saget was the proud father of three daughters, a tireless fundraiser for
...Everything you need to know about season 3 and more. IT’S A CLASSICFISH-OUT-OF-WATER scenario: American football coach Ted Lasso moves to England (a place he knows little about—he also despises tea) to coach soccer (a sport he knows little about—he’s aghast that games can end in a tie) in the midst of marital problems. Separated from his wife and son, the plucky coach vows to make the best of his new situation. When Ted Lasso premiered
...This is the Ultimate Guide to all things Taylor. Fierce, Fearless, Fantastic! Filled with exclusive photos, facts and behind the scene exclusives, this will be a keepsake for years to come. Taylor Swift puts the pop in pop culture: The 33-year-old hitmaker boasts a discography spanning multiple genres—from country to folk—that has sold an estimated 200 million records. As she continuously reinvents herself, she’s also changing the industry
...What first comes to mind when you think of Taylor Swift? The obvious answer: chart-topping music and relatable lyrics, epic three-hour Eras Tour stadium shows, love of anything that sparkles, the overwhelming connection she makes with fans. But did you know that beyond her musical genius, Tay Tay is also an ardent student of crafting? She’s not just a pop sensation—she’s also a crafting sensation. Over her many Eras, the singer has displayed
...In the nearly 17 years since Taylor Swift became famous, her fans have watched her grow from a winsome 16-year-old opening act in cotton sundresses, clunky leather cowboy boots and peachy lip gloss to an incandescent 33-year-old arena-filling mega pop star in sequined catsuits, custom crystal-studded Christian Louboutin boots with stiletto heels and her trademark red lipstick. In this special issue, we take a look through Swift’s style album
...Throughout the course of history, royal unions have been a source of widespread fascination, even if, centuries ago, they were less about matters of the heart and more about strategy and politics. But setting aside end goals and happily ever afters, we love to revel in the meet-cutes, the courtships, and the opulent, dreamy, and always Instagram-worthy (even if they didn’t know it then) weddings. In this edition of Royal Insider, we look back
...30) John Lennon
It’s been 80 years since John Lennon was born and 40 since he died — an excellent time to appreciate the life and work of one of the most influential figures in modern history. Since the moment the Beatles first made their mark on popular culture in the early 1960s, John, Paul, George and Ringo have been a fixture in our hearts and ears — never far away and never out of style. John Lennon was probably the most personal Beatle of them all.
...31) Tom Selleck
In this special edition bookazine, learn how Tom Selleck became one of America's most beloved stars -- plus, you'll hear about the secret to the success of his 2-+ year marriage, and the inside story of Magnum, Blue Bloods, and more!
32) Prince
Between 1978 and 1982, Prince released five albums that steadily built his reputation from prodigy to superstar. Then came 1984, the year he became a legend. On June 25 that year—a year that experts would later call the greatest in pop music history—Prince released Purple Rain, an album so remarkable and genre bending that some people forget that it was a movie soundtrack, the sonic bookend to the semi-autobiographical film of the same name
...News of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was met with so much excitement, emotion and ticket demand in November 2022 that the concerts could become one of the biggest runs of live shows in the history of pop music. It would be a remarkable accomplishment, but not all that shocking considering the multitude of record-breaking achievements Swift has managed to amass since she first arrived on the music scene in 2006. On her way to becoming the definitive
...34) Tina Turner
Powerhouse doesn’t even begin to describe Tina Turner as a vocalist, performer, style icon, and social force. But for all the laudatory words uttered about her during her remarkable 60-plus year career, survivor may be the most apt, and the most meaningful. In this special issue of Pop Icons, we look holistically at the remarkable life of Tina Turner from her childhood in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her well-earned retirement in Zurich, Switzerland.
...On June 13, 2013, after years of intense work as trainees, Jimin, RM, Jungkook, Jin, Suga, V and J-Hope made their official stage debut on M Countdown, performing “We Are Bulletproof” and “No More Dream.” And over the past decade, they’ve seen all of their dreams come true. But they know that their success would not have been possible without the love and support of their beloved fans. “We are who we are right now because of ARMY,”
...ROBIN WILLIAMS: Laughter, Tears, and Tragedy The job of every good comedian is simple: Make ‘em laugh. Robin Williams did that as well as anyone, ever. His humor was grounded by a very mature understanding that joy is a gift more than a given. The audience gleefully accepted the emotional escape that Williams was always willing to provide because life is often hard. And lonely. And full of sadness. It wasn’t until he was gone that we came
...Turning love and heartbreak into hit songs isn’t new—but arguably no one does it better than Taylor Swift. In 2023 alone, the singer’s career-spanning Eras Tour became the first to gross over $1 billion, she became the first living artist to have five top 10 albums at the same time on the Billboard 200, and she was named Time’s Person of the Year. But accolades aside, the reason so many people around the globe are Swifties is simple: Swift
...Once upon a time in Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe was the brightest star: A paradoxical combination of sex appeal and childlike innocence, the blonde bombshell captivated audiences with her “wiggle.” But all she really wanted was to be taken serious as an actress. Her talent shone through the typecasting, launching a meteoric rise from “cheesecake queen” to box-office smash in 1953. That year, she broke out with three of her most acclaimed
...The average lifespan of a rock band can be measured not in years, but months. Which is why the Rolling Stones—officially now a trio consisting of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood, three men all pushing 80—is not only The World’s Greatest Rock Band (just like they always claimed), but also the last group of its kind that we may ever see again. In their 60th year in existence, the Stones continue to roll. How is it all possible? Much
